We were thrilled to see the remote Himalayan town of Leh featured in yesterday’s NY Sunday Times! I love Andrew Harvey’s depiction of this magical land, “Nothing I had read or imagined prepared me for the splendour and majesty of the mountains that first day; that was the first gift Ladakh gave me, a silence before that phantasmagoria of stone, those vast wind-palaces of red and ochre and purple rock, those rock faces the wind and snow had worked over thousands of years into shapes so unexpected and fantastical the eye could hardly believe them....." - Andrew Harvey, excerpt from "A Journey in Ladakh”

Hangover part 4 🤣
Just like Mr. Chow He was fond of sunglasses.
.
Made another friend "Tanzin". He has dhaba somewhere after #baralachala pass towards #ladakh
.
Funniest guy we met on our trip. In couple of minutes we had great bond.
.
I visited him twice in our trip. While visiting him for Second time,
He was so happy to see us. Even he offered us free bed, tea and candies (of course I didn't take for free😛).
.
I clearly remember him saying “bhai aaj reh jao mere pass, paise nahi lunga, dher sara baat karenge.”
.
I was in tight schedule. Wanted to stay there while returning from #leh.
But due to the weather and low visibility we had to stay at #pang. .
The never stopped for 1-1.5 hours anywhere but here. 😆
.
Now he must be in kullu preparing for govt jobs.

1. Cross the passes in early morning, as glacier melts water level in passes increases.
2. Jispa is best option to stay. Tents are also available there. Slightly lower altitude than pang and #sarchu
3. At Sarchu and Pang, you may feel dizzy due to low oxygen level.
4. Check the levels of old steel bridges before crossing. Tires may burst while in contact with plates and screws.
5. Drink plenty of water and ride safe. .

A land like no other with superabundance of attractions to visit and phantasmagoric and fabulous landscapes, amazing people and culture, Ladakh is truly a heaven on Earth.
Bounded by two of the world's mightiest mountain ranges, the Great Himalaya and the Karakoram, it lies athwart two other, the Ladakh range and the Zanskar range. Ladakh is mystical in all the spheres it covers, from nature, geography, sceneries to the modest cultures that it fosters. Right from gompas to the sensational momos, the superabundance of attractions to visit makes this city make it heaven on earth. It is said that only in Ladakh can a man sitting in the sun with his feet in the shade suffer from sunstroke and frostbite at the same time.
